"When I fall in love I take my time, there's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind"

jason mraz

I'm not like that - I don't take my time falling usually, I guess I just keep hoping that the next time I jump I'll actually fly instead of fall-

however, that's with love and with furniture I do actually take my time deciding. . .

So I was exploring the Conran Shop today and just wanted to share my absolute favourite pieces ever. I've been in love with these for as long as I can remember, but because they're so damn expensive I'll HAVE to take my time in making up my mind which to buy first.

As for the rest of the divine world of Conran, here are my other faves:

why serendipity?

ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌsɛrənˈdɪpɪti/[ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]–nounan aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.I believe that designs, like all aspects of life, have a waiting period. They aren't something that can be rushed or forced, and along the way of looking for something else you usually find the perfect thing that you didn't know you were actually in search of. At the core of this is the belief in a wonderful God above who has a miraculous plan for each and every one of us.READ MORE ABOUT SERENDIPITY HERE: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/serendip/about.html

Nietzsche

“There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow”

Vincent Van Gogh

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."

Marcus Aurelius

"you don’t reach Serendip by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings … serendipitously."

John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor

"I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay"

Not sure where this came from but Momma says it

"Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for."

Lawrence Block

"For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Apostle Paul speaking about Jesus in 1 Col. 1:16,17

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”
